Galvanic Corrosion/zinc depletion question.

[Davidasailor26]

Bought a battery isolator.

Battery isolator or isolation transformer? A battery isolator usually wouldn’t affect the current paths involved in stray current or galvanic corrosion.

It really helps to know if you’re causing your own zinc corrosion. I bought the tester as well, and once I was pleased that my boat wasn’t generating the erosion of my zinc’s. I started checking near other boats, and though I could not discover the source, it really became obvious when the Boat nearby moved away.

I wish i had the room for an isolation transformer. They are not terribly expensive, just so little space left on a 36 ft boat after all the essentials are in.
